Great stay and great price for single night!
I would recommend everyone hear of all other options. Right in the city, literally a 10-15 walk from all the main attractions. Super casual laid back but contemporary feel. Can’t wait to visit again

The staff was super friendly and the location was amazing. Breakfast was very complete, with different milk options for vegans for example. The room is a bit small if you have too much luggage, but it works out fine.

Great Location
Great location and our room had a wonderful view. The beds/pillow were not great. Very hard, lumpy mattresses and hard pillow. They emptied our rubbish but did not make up the beds which we thought was weird. We did love the location. Easy walk to most of what we wanted to see/do.

Fantastic hotel for seeing Philly.
The room was nice and cozy, the staff were polite, and the cleaners placed items very respectfully on my bed. The bed itself was a bit small, but that's my fault for requesting a twin and not something bigger. Overall, amazing.

Fantastic Hotel, great location.
I stayed at Alexander Inn during the Football Club World Cup. The hotel is in a beautiful location, close to the City, shopping, bars & restaurants.
It’s only 10 minutes subway ride (5 stops) to the Sports Stadiums at NRG. (Phillys, Eagles, 76ers)
